Are the WubbaNub animal pacifiers worth the money? My LO likes the Avent Soothies pacifiers but they constantly fall out unless we hold it in. The only pacifiers that she can keep in her mouth are NUK brand but she doesn't like them as much and they still occasionally fall out. Also are the WubbaNub's hard to sanitize? How do you wash them since the animal is attached to the pacifier? TIA

My baby is 6 months now and she is able to hold it in and put it in her mouth by herself now. But I got it for her I think at 2 months and at that time she was not old enough to hold it in.

I do like it a lot because it's easy to locate and gives baby something to hold onto. While driving I can easily reach back and locate it in her carseat and put it back in her mouth. It made driving a easy process for us. Her carseat is in the middle seat so easy to reach her if needed.

The instruction says to clean it in the washing machine in a one of those mesh lingerie bags with your laundry. I did not like that idea at all of washing something that will go in baby mouth in laundry soap and you can't do that daily. So I just wash it in the hot soapy water I use to wash her bottles nightly. I squeeze out the water with my hand and leave it out to dry overnight. At night I use a plain Soothie for because baby should not sleep with toys and my baby is a tummy sleeper so I don't want the toy part to block her nose/face at night.

I don't like that you can't separate the Soothie from the toy but we make do.

I got the duck one first and used it until the paci separated from the toy(I think I pulled too hard when I squeeze it out after washing). Now I have the frog one.

There is another one called First Friends that comes with detachable Soothie. I have one of those but she seems to have a harder time to get it in her mouth.

We can't leave without it! My baby girl uses since she was 2 months old. She is now 7 months old and still loves it. We are expecting another baby and will get the same brand to her. We wash it with hot water and dish soap(by hand/kitchen sink). To dry we first use a clean cloth and then hang it on the bottle rack for the night. We have two and wash them every day. The reason we wash every day is because she is teething so after biting it we have the drooling left behind. We super recommend it!

I love them, but lo did not use them as a newborn. He can't sleep without his. We have the duck, red dog, and frog. I wash just the pacifier part in hot soapy water.

@steelea04 My LO is 8 months and we just got a first friends to help him. It uses Velcro to hold any pacifier you want. I also like the idea of him being able to still cuddle it after he stops using the paci.

@steelea04 Omg my daughter LOVES it. She's 4 and a half months old now but she's had it since 2 months old. After a couples weeks she actually learned how to hold it and get whatever part she wants in her mouth. She chews on the whole thing lol we really need to get another just in case we lose it because she has it with her 24/7!

Thanks everyone. I bought her a monkey WubbaNub and she LOVES it. She is 3 months old and uses her hand to push it back in her mouth. I think it's helping with her hand-mouth coordination.

@steelea04 Our daughter LOVES her kitty cat WubaNub! I wash it in the washing machine in a mesh laundry bag and air dry it.
